For a 95 and prior (OBD-I) you can use a paperclip.
For 96 and on (OBD-II) you have to use either a scanner or a computer running the proper software (with the proper interface). Generic OBD-II scanners are available for as little as $50 from Harbor Freight. Better would be to spend $125-150 for a much more capable scanner.

Go to http://www.troublecodes.net/Ford/ and there is a diagram on how to activate the diagnostic mode on your 1995. It also lists the OBD-I trouble codes.
